Marine Life: World's smallest fish discovered

A paper published by Britain's Royal Society, reports the discover of what are believed the world's smallest fish in peat swamps on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The Paedocypris genus is less than half an inch long, but are in danger of extinction because their habitat is being destroyed to create palm oil plantations and deforestation.

OK lads, you can stop creating palm oil plantations that provide jobs and boost the economy - we need to save a 0.3 inch long fish that no one ever sees and didn't know about till now.
